Migration and spring begins to kick in

The weather has improved the cold starts and blustery winds have died away and at last new species are beginning to turn up as the migration season starts to get into full swing. Although seen Warblers, thrushes and larks remain illusive in front of the camera.

Probably the last photo opportunity before they move out for Bluethroat proves to be the best

Bad weather and only a few migrants birds

The last few weeks we have expienced extended periods of high winds and bad visibilty due to dust. Add to this a shortage of new migrant species passing, birding in generally has been low key. A few Pied Wheatear where noted this weekend along with a lot more Chiffchaffs indicating that this situation should change soon. I spent a considerable ammount of time looking for a ringed Flamingo on Tubli Bay after Abdulla Kabi our local ringer spotted one at the sewage outfall at Tubli. Needless to say by the time I got there it had diasappeared amongst the thousand currently resident.
